tiful when the temple is lighted in the
evening. Surrounding the temple are
banquet ball, 20x46, kitchen, reception
room, two ante-rOoms and two halls. All
the apartments are frescoed except the
reception room, and cherry finish for the
woodwork prevails throughout the entire
set of rooms, tending much to relieve and
soften the colors in the frescoing. The
brush has tastefully produced emblems
on the windows, which are also furnished
with inside blinds, thus improving the
general appearance of the entire building.
The whole is piece of work that does
credit to WATERFOWL, and Straw & Muir
ply, who did the frescoing and painting,
and L. Kabet the carpenter work, are en-
titled to much praise.

THE CENTRAL FAIR.

features of the fair, and large attend

is in full blast, under the auspices of theiSt.
Bernard S church ladies. A base ball game
between two good clubs is to be ar
ranged for Friday. The fair ought to be
well attended by Our citizens.

DEATH OF AMOS F. BENNETT.

Amos T. Bennett, another old settler
of Watertown, departed this life at his
home in the Fourth ward last Sunday
forenoon, September Is, 1887. His dis
ease was bronchitis, from which he had
been sufferer for some time and was
confined to the house for several months
previous to his death. Through the posi-
ton of chief carpenter for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul road, which he
held for about 25 years, Mr.. Bennett
was we'll and favorably known. In the
performance of his duty to the railway
company he exercised rare judgment and
excellent care in the work turned out un-
der his supervision, and this was especial
" manifested in the bridge building that
came within his control.
Deceased was born at Wilkesbarre,
Penn, September Is, 1920, and he had
therefore completed his 9th year three
DAYS previous to his death. Shortly after
his marriage to Miss Mary Harvey, of
Binghamton, New York, he removed to
Staten Island, from whence he emigrated
to Wisconsin in 1S49 arriving in the then
village of Watertown, May 1st, of that
wear and here had been his home since
that time. Mrs. Bennett died January
II. 1881. Four daughters and one son
survive him, namely Mrs. E. Castle, of
Chicago, Katie, Annie, Mrs. Q. ID.
Richards and Jesse, and in their affiiction
bv the loss of kind, indulgent and low
ing father they have the sympathy ofour
entire community.
A sad and touching incident is con-
nected with Mr.. Benefits decease. 1t
was Mr. Benefits wish that the betrothal
of his youngest daughter Estell to Charles
d. Richards, of this city, be contaminated
by marriage while he still lived, and as
his earthly dissolution seemed nearing
Sunday morning, his dying request was
grati6ed, the couple pledging their welded
vows by his bedside about an hour before
he breathed his last, his consciousness be-
ing perfectly clear during the marriage
ceremony performed by Rev. ]. M. Camp
bell, of the Congregational church, as
evinced by the look of resigned satisfac-
ton upon his countenance.
The funeral of Mr. Bennett, held yes
terday afternoon from his late home, Rev.
J. M. Campbell officiating, was attended
by the mem bers of Watertown Masonic
lodge in a body, the carpenters in body
employed under the deceased, and a large
number of our citizens, Asst GenI Supt.
A. J. Earling, Supt. ". G. Collins, Master
Mechanic J. NJ Lowry and ID. j. White
more, chief engineer, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railway, being also
present. The procession to Oak Hill
cemetery, where the body was deposited,
was one of the longest ever seen here on
a similar occasion.

Insurance Company to recover l,OOO
upon the death of her husband.
When he died the company refused to pay
the insurance on the ground that he was
behind two assessments. The fact that
the company had repeatedly accepted as
sessments from Stylow after 60 days limit
was held by the court to be in the nature
of sixty-day clause in the policy.

FAVORABLE JUDGMENTS.

The case of Ada Ell. Robinson VS.. the
CITY of Watertown, which we announced
Sept. 7th had been argued before our
state supreme court, was decided yester-
day, the goth inst, by that court in favor
of the city, reversing the judgment of ST.,
900 rendered against us for that amount
by the circuit court of this county. The
only quest ton in the case was as to
whether service of the summons upon
the chairman of the board of street COM
missioners while the board was in session
and the Office of mayor vacant, was a
good service on the city and commenced
the suit While it is not yet known here
the precise position of the court, yet it
may be regarded as tolerably certain that
the court has held such service void.
At the same time the supreme court
decided the case of Waterman VS.. Water
loo in favor of the town of Waterloo, af-
firming the judgment Of the circuit court
in its favor This involved the same
question as the Metcalf case against our
city, and will help us materially at Wash
ington.
In this connection the following dis
patch will explain Itself:
JEFFERSON, Wis, Sept. 20, '87.
Hon. d. Hdll:-Robinson case revers-
ed; Waterloo case affirmed. Let Mount
Zion rejoice; let the daughters of Zion be
glad because of these Judgments.

yer on behalf of himself and of the
ladies in few well chosen words.
THE RETURN.
Shortly before 2 O'Clock the guests
reluctantly bade adieu to Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin and were driven to the
station, where the special car was
in waiting. Here another surprise
awaited them, for during the
morning the ladies of Orange
had decorated its interior with bright
flowers and foliage. Above the plate
glass mirror, along the frieze, over the
windows and doors and pendant from
the chandeliers, were tastefully
arranged decorations of scarlet, pink
and white flowers, which half hidden
by delicately leaved foliage, made the
interior of the car more attractive
than before. In the center of the car
two tables had been arranged, one
with bank of delicate blooms and
the other with the freshest and
choicest of fruits, designed as
a parting remembrance of Orange.
There were grapes of many
varieties, bartlett pears in pro-
fusion, peaches, oranges, and other
specimens of the products of Orange
which would have reflected credit on
the town at the Pathological Fair.
The journey homeward was entirely
too short, and it was with regret that
the party left the car at the CONNER
cial street depot at 10 minutes before
A O'Clock yesterday afternoon. At the
next meeting of the City Council a
resolution of thanks to Mr.. Culver will
be unanimously ordered spread upon
the minutes.
